Tim Walz made an unannounced visit to the memorial for George Floyd in south Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, his first time seeing the site where Floyd died.
Walz, dressed in casual clothing and a face mask, stopped to do an interview with a CNN reporter. The reporter, Omar Jimenez, was the same journalist that the Minnesota State Patrol arrested while on live television during last week's unrest, and Walz offered Jimenez a personal apology.
A tribute to George Floyd sits at the intersection where he was arrested by Minneapolis police on May 25. Walz said he wanted to be at the memorial, located
